Forms

I have been using Acrobat Pro v7.0. I recently purchased 8.0 but haven't installed yet. I want to create a form that would include a small pop-up calendar that you click on to select dates you want to put in the date fields. The dates will always be changing in this form. Is this possible? and if so can you give me some direction for help? This form would be a secondary lesson plan form. Thank you very much.

Click this link [url=http://wl.filegenie.com/~pdfmaker/dateDialog.pdf]http://wl.filegenie.com/~pdfmaker/dateDialog.pdf[/url].

It will take you to an alternate that may achieve your objective. It is a one page PDF that has a button and one text field. When the user clicks the button, a dialog box pops up asking them to enter a date. They enter a date, it is confirmed, and recorded in the text field.

There are several JavaScripts in this example so I suggest you brush up on writing Acrobat JavaScripts.
